Even watching 24/7 last year, it was hard not to gain respect for some of the Washington Capitals. So, about ten minutes into this year's, when we found ourselves completely respecting both teams, we knew it was going to be something special. We briefly thought about running a Rangers blog.

24/7 was mind-blowing last year. This year it is just as mesmerizing. One of the shows where you look at the clock and wish there was more time. Here are our top 5 moments from episode one:

5. John Tortorella and Peter Laviolette

Big-time coaches. Something that you notice with both Torts and Peter Laviolette is they both have 100% respect of their team. Both are Stanley Cup winners.When you watch how big of an idiot Bruce Boudreau was last year and then watch Torts coach, it is a different world.

Some cool shit featuring Torts:

Someone mentioned this on Twitter, but could you imagine dating a girl and her dad being John Tortorella? Jesus.

He called Gaborik out on the bench in Buffalo, and Gaborik responded with a snipe.

He couldn't decide whether or not to pull Lundqvist at one point.

Lav had some great quotes:

“We are not a conservative team, we are a let’s fucking giddy up and go type of team.

“Play fucking hard. Play for each other, support each other. Come back to the bench fucking dripping tired with fucking sweat and exhaustion. Put your foot on the fucking gas.”

Before the Pens game:Just a couple reminders here– you either put it wide with speed and put it behind the net, or you put it behind them and you grind the piss out of this team, because that’s the strength of ours. Play to our strengths and against their weakness. Let’s make sure we have a great start, a great first shift. Have a great game. A must-win here. Let’s kick some ass.”
